Mr. 3. W. McKelvay informs ns that
he had a lively chase after a cougar or
mountain lion yesterday near Mr. 'A. C.
Dooks,-south of this city. The dogs
were compelled to give np the chase1 as
the enow was too deep for further pur
suit but he is sure that he will get the
animal soon.- It was a monster -and Mr.
McKelvay says he -would have given a
cayuse to have got him. -J
The Ochoco Review says the boundaries
for the proposed Antelope county will
embrace a fine era tine and farming
country, and will take from Crook about
thirty -six townships, together with some
of the best taxpayers in tbe country and
adds: "It is certain that Crook county
cannot afford to lose this , territory, and
it is indeed questionable if those who
are seeking county division will find it
in a new connty." y
:- Grant coun.ty is introducing the very
beat sheep that can be bought. . A few
days ago Com. Swick showed the News
editor a sample of wool 6J inches long.-
sheared from a half merino, and weighed
16J pounds to the fleece; the average
of one of his-bands. E. A. Greene,
chairman of the committee on wool ex
hibits at the world's fair pronounced it
Ao. 1 delaine and that it would make
very desirable worsted yarn,' comparing
favorably with eastern wools. That it
pays to raise good sheep wool growers
are finding out, and the rapidity with
which, they have been introducing
thoroughbreds into their flocks is proof
enough that they are in -earnest about
the matter of improved 'stock, as they
'say it costs no more to winter a fine
animal tftan a poor one. A sheep that
will shear 5 to 7 pounds of wool will eat
s much hay as one yielding 16 pounds.
Captain and Mrs. Sherman and a gen
tleman and lady went out sleigh riding

this junction one of tho runners dropped
into a sag in the ground, and over, the

aided by one of the ladies catching one

to control and the result was as stated
all over on the turn with a scream and a

The Winquat circle of the Chautauqua

last night. Mr. Riddell took charge of
the Grecian History and Miss Brooks of
the United States and Foreign Powers.
The lessons were very instructive as well
as entertaining. Mrs. Brooks read an
interesting article on the Congo, and Mrs.

Bill Nye has entered a new field. He
is now posing as a Cnpid. His .first
subject wae an 'Oregon! ant. Bill says:
"I incautiously printed a low, plaintive
wail from a prune-grower in Oregon
who wanted a wife. He had a prune
vineyard of three and a half acres, and
was, oh J so lonely that I took pity on
him and printed the wail without
money antl without price, so that some
loving heart, lonely and pining, soaring
only to a moderate bight and flying
one-sided for lack of some one to love,
might' plume . its pinions for Oregon,
where it and the great big, warm bul
bona heart of the prane-grower could
nestle together under the giant, conifer
ous trees and trailing arbutus and prune
vines of that glorious Aidenn." The
result was beyond , all expectation, and
Bill is corning out to Oregon next sum

RED TAPE.
It' .Various
P rov oeatlona,
and Small.
Both Great
' Settlers on forfeited railway lands, in
this diviaioi of Oregon, -and ' more par
ticularly farmers and producers of the
Inland Empire for eighteen years, have
been held down by red 1 tape,, an article
which has never been authoritatively
defined. As we have been compelled to
regard it red tape means "how not to
open the river," and how the settler is
easily set down upon. - .It is the letter
that killcth. It is pharisaism ' in office.
It is the tithing of business mint and
cumin. . It is home to rules, and idola
try of pet methods. It is small criti
cism and large neglect of ' weighty mat
ters. It is gagging at trifles and swal
lowing a loaded camel - train. It is
official - superciliousness 'insisting on
routine against juBt -sights and'reasona
able claims. It is. failure against the
patient ' and skillful . cunning of the
impostor, but a bar to the poor man
with a goo 1 cause. It keeps thousands
of honest government creditors out of
their xlues, but is weak,againBt jobs,
frauds, and log-rolling. It is locution,
circum-locutipn, inter-locution, words,
words and evermore words and thistles,
but no figs nor grapes.
. If our representatives in Salem could
only fire the heart of the heads of de
partments at Washington to fire red tape
from the Inland Empire this year of
our Lord Anno Domini 1893, we -should
call them blessed, and once more try to
be happy. One subject in particular we
solmenly pray for; ""that the plant of
Uncle Sana at Cascade Locks" be turned
over to Messrs. Day at once, - that no
more valuable time be lost in that di
rection. ..' ' ' ' " ; . :
